American National Standards Institute / Building Hardware Association Rating System

BHMA (Architectural Hardware Association) has been recognized by ANSI (American National Standards Institute) organization. A private, non-profit organization that maintains, develops, improves, and improves the standards of the construction hardware industry. ANSI/BHMA classifies all types of hardware into different grades. The grade of the product is defined by the ANSI/BHMA benchmark. Through operational testing, robustness testing, impact testing, durability testing, surface treatment testing, and safety testing, the goal is to help identify the quality and durability of the lock.

So what value can these standards bring to consumption?

The process of certifying product grades is tight. National and industry standards do not mandate a level of disclosure of a product. However, KEYMAN believes that there is a certain responsibility to tell the customer the level of the product. Let the customer know what level of product he is going to buy. The following are the ANSI standards.

Each level details the minimum requirements:
Operational testing: key smoothness, flexibility testing and life testing.
Safety test: tensile test and impact test.
Surface treatment test
This helps customers better identify the level of KEYMAN products.

The density of the lock depends on the following factors: the precision of the key and the marble, the shape of the marble, the number of marbles, the shape of the key groove, the size and precision of the gap between the marble, the key, the lock cylinder and the lock case, and whether it is protected.æ’© marbles and so on.
